About
You may enjoy this if you like strange, unsettling horror with dreamlike imagery and a sad, offbeat streak, somewhere near I Am Not a Serial Killer; Not for you if you dislike slow, weird, or spider-heavy horror.
Pros: unique premise; disturbing atmosphere; memorable visuals | Cons: uneven pacing; messy execution; divisive acting
